Four Pendleton Boy Scouts, who are at Camp Rotary summer camp, on the Walla Walla river, above Mil ton, received honors at the Court of Honor held there last Sunday. They are David Hamley, Jerry Erickson, James Stangier*and Robert Boynton. The East Oregonian reports that during last week, many interesting camp experiences were scheduled, in cluding a great mail robbery which required the sleuthing abilities of the entire camp to solve, a relay of an important forest fire message from Bear Creek ranger station to Camp Rotary, six miles in 43 minutes. The Rangers took a three-day hike along the breaks between north and south forkm of the Walla Walla com ing back over Blalock. Intense rival ry in baseball, soccer, and track events with inter-troop honors well divided, has developed great troop spirit. . Scheduled for this week the sixty boys and leaders in camp are plan ning much test work and three hikes. The hikes will all start Tuesday eve ning and end Friday so that the scouts may be in camp Friday and Saturday to receive visitors and to complete tests for another big court of honor Sunday. Great interest is being shown by the scouts in the leathercraft class es, conducted by H. J. Kirby of Pen dleton. Some of the more artistic scouts are weaving baskets and can ing chairs with material gathered on the camp grounds, and a large group is busy chasing insects for close study. The five o'clock morning bird study classes are crowded. On their last trip the bird students identified eighteen birds, and have a total of nearly one hundred varieties seen in camp and on hikes this summer. Scout executive F. D. Hawley an nounces that there is room for some more scouts for the last period of camp, beginning next Sunday, July 21, and ending August 4. sScouta will be accepted during this time for one or two weeks.
